Estimating the Acceptable Replication Latency

Estimate
the level of synchronicity that is required between master replicas and consumer
replicas. The Directory Server replication model is loosely consistent,
that is, updates are accepted on a master without requiring communication
with the other replicas in a topology. At any given time, the contents of
each replica might be different. Over time, the replicas converge until each
replica has an identical copy of the data. As part of performance planning,
determine the maximum acceptable time that replicas have to converge.
